This improves how we obtain the Windows release versions in get_windows_version(), in turn g_get_os_info() for Windows Server 2016 and later, and Windows 10 20H2 (2009) and later and Windows 11, by doing the following: * Check the build number. For Windows 11, the build number is 22000+; for Windows Server 2022, the build number is 20348, and for Windows Server 2019, the build number is 17763. We know what OS build numbers to check for by the Windows OS type that we obtained by using g_win32_check_windows_version(). Show the actual server release string (i.e. Windows Server 20xx yyyy) as appropriate, as a result. * Check the DisplayVersion entry in the registry under SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion if we obtained "2009" from the ReleaseId entry, since DisplayVersion replaces ReleaseId after Windows 10/Server 2019 20H2 (2009). This makes things more clear for Windows releases after 20H2, where previously 20H2 and 21H1 were all identified as Windows 10 [Server] 2009. This should fix issue #2443.
GLib
GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
The official download locations are: https://download.gnome.org/sources/glib
The official web site is: https://www.gtk.org/
Installation
See the file 'INSTALL.in'
Supported versions
Only the most recent unstable and stable release series are supported. All older versions are not supported upstream and may contain bugs, some of which may be exploitable security vulnerabilities.
See SECURITY.md for more details.
How to report bugs
Bugs should be reported to the GNOME issue tracking system. (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/new). You will need to create an account for yourself.
In the bug report please include:
- Information about your system. For instance:
- What operating system and version
- For Linux, what version of the C library
- And anything else you think is relevant.
- How to reproduce the bug.
- If you can reproduce it with one of the test programs that are built in the tests/ subdirectory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise, please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior. As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece of software that can be downloaded.
- If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the crash occurred.
- Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not necessary.
Patches
Patches should also be submitted as merge requests to gitlab.gnome.org. If the patch fixes an existing issue, please refer to the issue in your commit message with the following notation (for issue 123): Closes: #123
Otherwise, create a new merge request that introduces the change, filing a separate issue is not required.
